    A Midwest steam launch built as a fantail launch from Woods Hole.

    I recently picked up a boat at an Estate Sale that I believe is a modified Midwest Launch (or one of its siblings).
    I believe they used the same hull for several kits (Tour Master, Harbor Master, and Fantail Launch).
    Cute little boats. I like the way yours is configured!

    One of my first builds. It was originally a Midwest kit. Inspiration came from the real boat moored in Eel Pond Woods Hole. See attachment.
    You might occasionally see one of the kits on eBay. They were originally designed to use steam power.
